According to Reuters on the 10th (local time), President Trump said at the White House that `we will return to plastic straws.'
President Trump's decision, which reaffirmed his conservative environmental policy stance, is contrary to the reduction of disposable plastic consumption pushed by his predecessor Joe Biden.
Earlier, President Trump recommended using plastic straws instead of paper straws during his first term in office, and in 2019, he engraved the Trump (TRUMP) logo on a red regular straw and sold it for $15 for 10 to raise $460,000 in a week.
He also posted on his social media (SNS) on the 7th, "'I will sign an executive order next week to end Biden's ridiculous pressure on paper straws (use)."
